So Moncada made a nice defensive play on Benintendi, hit .400, blasted a monstrous home run, stole a base ... did he fire a strong throw somewhere, or did he only get a chance to flash four tools? It's a shame the 7th inning stretch wasn't longer or he would've cured cancer.Or did he........

DJ- I'm not sure what you're saying: 1) The Braves have offered Tehran and asked for the three you mentioned or 2) The Sox have made this offer. If it's the first, who cares? They can ask for whomever they want, doesn't mean it's going to happen. If it's the second, why haven't the Braves taken it? If I were in the Braves front office, it'd literally take me a few seconds to agree to that. The fact that you say "if the Sox pull the trigger" suggests it's the first. Am I missing something? This is what the Braves proposed, after having the discussion with DDo. Basically, teams may use an excess value estimate as a way of getting to a dealpoint quickly, after having removed options that are dealbreakers. Here, I would guess DDo opened the conversation with, DDo: We want to do a prospects-only deal for Teheran plus bullpen. Can we make that work? Coppy (GM for Braves): yes, if we can get $107M in excess value back (for Teheran). Is Shaw a deal-breaker? DDo: we might be able to make Shaw available. And so on. If other teams are calling on Teheran, they are probably being asked for MLB players, not prospects. Braves would like to be a winning team next year, when they open their new stadium. Ahh, gotcha! Thanks for clearing that up for me.

You stated they have or had a deal. How do you know this? Don't tell me you asked Soxprospects to ask but they may get a no comment. That's not an answer. As far as I can tell you're just making stuff up. You've been pushing for this deal for Tehran, and now resorting to making up trade proposals as facts. I think it goes without saying that team sources can't be named? Teams don't like leaks and someone might be chastised or worse. But it's on the record, and if the Sox pull the trigger, you'll be able to see it's accurate. I put more info on the other options in the trade in a post that jmei moved to the trade proposal subforum.

Sorry, first time poster…long-time lurker.
I just wanted to ask: are there two Jered Weaver’s playing for the Angels? Because I can only think of the terrible one-- despite what his last few starts say.
I mean Weaver’s fastball is so slow that he makes Koji look like Randy Fricking Johnson
Weaver’s control is so terrible that he makes Henry Owens look like Clayton Kershaw.
The time Weaver takes between pitches makes Clay Buchholz look like… well… okay Clay Buchholz.
Weaver’s fastball is so slow that according to Einstein’s Theory of Relativity, if Weaver threw his fastball in 1925, it would reach home plate sometime in 2072…in another dimension.
Weaver is so terrible that if the Angels said that we could have Trout for free if we took Weaver as well, I’d literally have to think about it for several seconds.
In short, despite what his last few starts have shown, no f%$^$ way would I want Weaver.
